More like, what isn’t online? The Web is an amazing place. Spend any amount of time online and you’re bound to discover something new — whether it’s interesting, useful, disgusting or even awful.
Of course, the interesting and the useful is what you’re really looking for — and there is no shortage of websites that offer interesting and useful information (shameless plug).
One of the latest online phenomenons is social networking. You’ve probably heard of Facebook and Twitter by now (if you haven’t, where’ve you been?).
For quite some time now, not only have I been on both Facebook and Twitter, but Pest Management Professional magazine has been as well.
When we first set up our Facebook Fan Page for PMP magazine, it was fun to watch all our industry friends become fans (270 and growing!). On the PMP magazine fan page, “fans” can gather together to check out interesting and useful industry news and updates, as well as post notes and communicate with one another.
Twitter, a social networking microblog, has been another useful tool we use to communicate with PMPs followers (129 and growing!). Not only can our Twitter followers stay up to date on the latest industry happening and news through our feed, they can also connect with one another and offer tips and advice trough Tweets.
These are just two mediums we’re using — and many PMPs are using — to stay connected with the people in this great industry.
If you’re on Facebook, be sure to become a fan of PMP magazine. And, don’t forget to follow us on Twitter — See you online!

Thanks for letting me know about your Facebook account. I love Facebook. In the little time I have been connected, I have met up with many old friends and professional acquaintances dating way back… to long ago to mention.
